A 10-year-old Bushnegro girl was hospitalized in Paramaribo for a tumor of the neck. Four months later the diagnosis, Lagochilascaris minor infection, was made. The patient was then treated with thiabendazole, without avail. Irradiation by X-ray to kill the eggs was unsuccessful. The girl died about a year after onset of the first symptoms. No autopsy was performed.",
